The Year of Celebrations: 05/26/12

I was talking with my mom and I decided that I would spend the next year celebrating as many holidays and occurrences as possible. I think there are around 300 holidays a month!
My mom and I have always loved all the peculiar holidays and have had many laughs discussing them. I think this year will be a lot of fun but it will also require a lot of dedication, time, and it wont be without costs. I will give you once a week up dates once I get it started (Probably next month) and I will post daily journalings as often as possible. I have a feeling I will be rather busy.
I am home schooled which I believe will make this a whole heap easier, but also more challenging. Mom made an agreement with me... For this year I will use this as a lot of my school work. I will be writing reports on many of these days and I will be doing loads of research. I look forward to this coming year and I hope you will enjoy following my blog.
Feel free to post your comments along the way.

Old-Time Player Piano Week

May 25-28 is Old Time Player Piano week. Here's our New Player!

You pump the petals to get the player to work. It pushes on bellows that blow air to make the sound come through the roll, very fascinating!

It doesn't have the player in it right now because it needs repairing but it's still a player piano!

I REALLY like this piano, It has a very rich, full, deep sound...and even the higher keys are very crisp. ..It's a great piano. And it seems I'm not the only one who likes it.
